I've been trying to get our TS-7000 (TS-2rz) to join our windows server 2008 r2 active directory domain. So far, I have been unsuccessful in doing so. I have followed the KB article, and various videos available. My attempts have always resulted in failure.

The nas is reporting that the latest and greatest firmware is applied. The time and timezone are set the same as the DC, as the TS uses the DC as it's NTP server.

The AD DNS on the DC has the NAS in the dns in both forward and reverse zones. The netbios, dns and controller name are correct in the setup dialog. The NAS has the DC listed as the primary DNS, with another windows server DC listed as the secondary. The only thing I haven't tried yet on the NAS is unbonding the four nics and using only one of them.

Its weird, below is a screen cap. The Windows Explorer screen on the left that was opened by just opening it "normally" shows the mapped share folder (L:) but doesn't show the LinkStation in the "Network". The Windows Explorer on the right which opened when I double clicked the LinkStation in NAS Navigator shows the LinkStation in the "Network" and the mapped L: drive. But if I close that and just open explorer, its not there.

Trying to map drives to the 2 drives in my CloudStor Buffalo device. Installed NasNavigator & see the 2 drives but receive an error message asking me to first create a "'shared" folder. How do I do that please?Yellow light for info/error is lit up...Unit has been restarted and unplugged/replugged in to router...Thanks!
